Re: HOWTO: NFS Server/Client

Hello,

I'm having a problem that maybe cannot be solved, but I thought I'd ask in case... (sorry if the solution is somewhere along this thread, I haven't been able to find it).
I mount NFS network shares on my computer (using autofs) and it all worked great until the network admins ask me to connect using gid 20 (dialout) instead of mine (1000). Something about group permissions they need to have.

I could change my gid to 20 but would rather connect to the shares with 20, keeping my local gid to 1000. I've read stuff about NFSv4 and id mapping but have no idea how to set up that - I assume it's on the server side which I don't have access to. If I try a "sudo mount -t nfs4 (etc)" I get "mount.nfs4: Protocol not supported" so I assume they don't use it.

So is it possible to change my gid on the NFS share without having any possibility, on my side, to modify it?
Or do I have no other option than modifying my gid to 20 even locally?

That's exactly what I wanted to do but couldn't figure out how.
I'm already part of gid 20 (dialout) but can't find the way to mount the server with gid 20 instead of 1000. Adding "gid=20" to my autofs configuration works with samba shares, not NFS...
Thanks!!!

Re: HOWTO: NFS Server/Client

having problems .. installed a new hd - volume name = L-Films
I want to share the whole of the drive to all IP addresses on the network - I can see the drive from other machines, but can't see any files. Obviously I have done something wrong!
